THE race......

It was 23 degrees before the start of the race, there many hills to battle up but we all won our finisher medals. Our race times do not appear to strongly associate (positively or negatively) with age, intelligence, looks, or size of any parts of our anatomies! Very well done to Ronan who beat both Laura and me (and he finished within an hour).
